Located at 1460 North Fairview Avenue in Goleta, this center cares for injured birds and small mammals until they are able to survive on their own, then releases them back into the wild. Many different species arrive here, rescued by compassionate citizens of Santa Barbara County. Volunteers with a love of wildlife and a talent for healing man the center. For more information, including how to volunteer, call 805-681-1080.

The story began in 1979 with a small group of people who saw a need to care for injured birds. Since then the Network has grown to over 400 volunteers, who care for over 4000 animals each year. Only a few of the animals, resident as of today, are shown above.
Regular team members include Julia Parker, Sophie Busch, Tracie Gephart, Pat Carter, Jackie Darbyshire, Dawn A. Summerlin and June Taylor ... an extraordinary group.
